Bread & Roses Lyrics by Stray from the Path

Euthanasia

2022

[Verse 1: Drew York]
What did you leave behind?
More than a wish, more than a pastime
The weathered wings of the worker bee
Drowning in debt to the depths
I regret the day I let them take the flight from me
What did you give up
To try and keep a kid tucked in?
Shielded from the cold
It's a sin
The unequals can't win
Until they control it
So give me bread and roses
[Chorus: Jesse Barnett]
You get by or you don't
You can't stop or you won't?
Realize what's yours is mine
You control it
So give me bread and give me roses
[Verse 2: Drew York]
Have nots always have not
Been the long shot but the sorrow sticks into mortar and brick
Build the castles as the capital rains from the sky
You're left out to dry
What is life when hearts starve as well as bodies?
No one thrives in the descent
And the end won't justify the means
So what justifies the end?
[Chorus: Jesse Barnett]
You get by or you don't
You can't stop or you won't?
Realize what's yours is mine
You control it
So give me bread and give me roses
[Bridge: Drew York]
Lend out a hand that you can't retract (Can't retract)
Worked to bone, yeah, it breaks your back (Breaks your back)
It boils up until your skin cracks
No man is my master
Fall back
So give me bread and roses
[Chorus: Jesse Barnett]
You get by or you don't
You can't stop or you won't?
Realize what's yours is mine
You control it
So give me bread and give me roses
